Welcome
to the WD4R (ex WD4JR,
WD4JNS) Amateur Radio
DXpedtitions - Public Service - Scuba Diving Home Page.

Amateur Radio, also known as " Ham Radio ", Computers and Scuba
Diving are a great combination of Hobbies.
I have been very fortunate to enjoy them together, specially when I travel
to Islands on DXpeditions for DX
Contesting.
These DXpeditions are combination of Radio DXing and Contesting,
computers, camping, survival, excitement,
scuba diving and Island adventures.
Amateur Radio has also been a great tool that has allowed me to
participate in a great number of Public Service activities
and emergency communications.
Ham Radio usually gets through when other conventional means of
communications (like telephones) are down.

DX means contacting other Hams in distant countries. I
have worked 280 countries so far.
During a DX Contest, it is not unusual to work over 100
countries in 48 hours.

DXpeditions are expeditions by Ham Operators "DXers" to
rare countries or islands to provide other Hams with
a rare contact. The contact is confirmed with a QSL card
similar to the one above and has the statistics of the contact on the
back.
